If we're going by the classic definition of musclecar, no. If we're perhaps allowing the term musclecar to evolve a bit then certainly. 300+ HP is nothing to sneeze at. Especially from 3.6 liters.

I look at the V6 platform as a viable answer, an American answer to the guys addicted to modding Nissans, Toyotas, Mitsu's, Subies and Hondas.

These guys aren't as impressed with V8's as the guys clamoring to get an SS seem to be. They tend to view Camaro and Mustang drivers as hillbilly rednecks. To them a twin turbo V6 Camaro would be more impressive than an SS.

Too bad GM saddled the V6 with that dang Bosch ECU.
